Hats off to all of the campers that participated in the park's Christmas decorating contest. The campground had many sites twinkling with colored lights, and the spirit of the holiday!

--- The Third Place Award went to Rebecca Kenyon on Site #36 and she received a custom-designed Vineyards Campground T-shirt.
---Roger Harrison on Site #41 recieved an Honorable Mention for his site decorations, along with two Vineyards Campground wine glasses.
We also appreciate the colorful decorations in other sites— 10,11, 12, 36, 37 and 38—and those guests each received one of our Vineyards coffee cups for participating as well. With a touch of cold weather, it almost felt and looked like the North Pole here. Thanks to all for choosing to stay with us during the Christmas holidays.
We wanted to take a minute and wish each of you a Merry Christmas today. Thank you for choosing to stay at The Vineyards Campground during the holidays. We even ordered some colder Texas weather to make it feel like Christmas.
Do know that we appreciate you choosing to be with us in the park. On behalf of the staff, we wish you the very best in the coming year as well.
What fun guests of all ages had this week decorating the campground Christmas tree for our resident squirrels and birds. We made Pine Cone Bird Feeders, Fruit Loop garlands, and covered the tree in popcorn as well.
The recipe for Pine Cone Bird Feeders is very easy; you can do it yourself and have campground birds right at your RV too. Find a large pine cone, smear peanut butter on it, then roll it bird seed!
Special thanks to Chick-fil-A at Grapevine Mills Mall for sharing great coupons for our guests as well. Fun was had by all.
Excitement grew this week as construction began on the long-awaited outdoor porch that will surround the new stand-alone Camp Store.
The beautiful wood deck will be the center-point of the campground, giving guests a special place to gather and visit with other campers. We plan to hold many of our weekly outdoor events on the deck, as well as special classes on nature, local birds, and Grapevine Lake.
The deck will be partially covered to allow guests to relax in all kinds of Texas weather, and the openness of the design will welcome outdoor conversation, reading and playing board games as well. Stairs and a ramp will make the store easily accessible to all to shop for camping supplies, firewood, or rent kayaks and golf carts.

The weather outside was delightful last Friday night for our new version of Holiday S'mores.
We had a great crowd of folks for this event and everyone enjoyed trying new toppings on these hot, gooey, yummy S'mores. And, someone's family dog really enjoyed some fallen treats as well.
There were a few who stayed with the tried and true Hersheys, graham cracker and hot marshmallows...but most everyone gave the new toppings a try. We had crushed peanut butter cups, red and green colored Christmas sprinkles, and Cookies and Cream chocolates as well. We will continue to have fun events each weekend throughout the winter season, so watch the calendar for upcoming activities. See you soon!
December has arrived with a chill in the air and it's the perfect time now for a campfire! Special thanks to workampers Mike and Nancy McCutcheon for splitting wood the last couple of weeks. The campground now has a great supply of firewood available.
"Contact the Front Office and the bundles of wood will be delivered right to your campsite," says Fred Foxx. Each bundle costs $10; and we also have Pinion wood from New Mexico—you can purchase a bundle of it or just a good size log for $1 to split and add to your campfire. The Front Office has packaged Fire Starters as well, so there's no reason not to sit outside these beautiful December nights and enjoy a campfire.
